This meditation will guide you through a simple affirmation technique.
So begin by making yourself as comfortable as possible.
You can do this meditation lying down or seated.
If you're in a seated position,
Prop yourself upright so that your spine is straight and elongated.
Make yourself as comfortable as possible so that you can be still throughout the meditation.
Begin by closing your eyes.
Start to feel your body moving with your breath.
Notice your stomach rising as you breathe in and falling as you breathe out.
Notice your shoulders moving with your breath.
Shoulders lift as you breathe in and fall as you breathe out.
Become aware of the sounds around you.
Listening for one sound and then moving to the next.
Acting as an observer of these sounds.
Begin to really feel your breath expanding and contracting.
Now listening out for the next sound that you hear.
And when you hear that sound say to yourself,
I am love.
And then letting it go,
Listening out for the next sound and saying to yourself,
I am love.
Letting go of the affirmation and then listening for another sound.
Repeat to yourself,
I am love.
Continue repeating this affirmation each time you hear a sound.
Allow yourself to feel the emotion,
The sensation that comes when you feel this affirmation to be true.
When you say it with meaning and intention.
Continue repeating the affirmation.
Repeating it with meaning and intention.
And now we'll bring in a second affirmation,
I am peace.
So with the next sound that you hear repeating to yourself,
I am peace.
And then listening for another sound and repeating to yourself,
I am peace.
Continuing on to repeat these affirmations,
Saying them with feeling and emphasis.
Each time you notice that your mind is wandering,
Thinking of other things.
Bring your attention fully to the affirmation as you repeat it.
And continue to feel the sensation that arises with the thought,
I am peace.
I am love.
I am peace.
I am love.
I am peace.
I am love.
I am peace.
I am love.
And now letting go of these affirmations.
Bringing your attention to your breath,
To your body.
Take some deeper breaths into your belly.
Become aware of the sounds around you.
Begin to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Bringing some energy,
Some movement back into the body.
And when you're ready,
You can begin to open your eyes.
Thank you.
